  Not the Port. Roadworks on the A20.

  Yes roadworks outside my rear window...one lane closed. Yes indeed trucks winding up the A20 hill in the distance, there may be more to this than just the roadworks though.

  The radio mentioned problems on the A2 at Whitfield so probably people avoiding that route....
  Been nice knowing you :)

  #8 - Radio said it was a camper van on its ear!
  
  It beggars belief that a single lane closure can cause so much chaos. When I took the truck up the hill just before midday there wasn't a copper in sight. I know that work has to be done at some time but from what I could see it was only sweeping debris from the central reservation. Surely that could have been done overnight when there is far less traffic about.
